4. Embedding Excel VBA to Merge Email Addresses

If you want to concatenate email addresses more smartly and fastly then there is no other way to use Excel VBA. In VBA, we can make a user-defined function (UDF) with a fixed delimiter, so we’ll have to just select the range in the function. Our function name will be Concatenate_EmailAddresses and we’ll use a semicolon (;) as the fixed delimiter in the codes.

Steps:

• Firstly, press Alt + F11 to open the VBA window.
• Then click Insert > Module to insert a new module.

• Later, type the following codes in the module-

Function Concatenate_EmailAddresses(myRange As Range) As String
Dim Con_Cell As Range
For Each Con_Cell In myRange
Concatenate_EmailAddresses = Concatenate_EmailAddresses & ";" & Con_Cell.Value
Next Con_Cell
Concatenate_EmailAddresses = Right(Concatenate_EmailAddresses, Len(Concatenate_EmailAddresses) - 1)
End Function

• After that, no need to run the codes, just go back to your worksheet and you will see that the function is ready.

Here’s our user-defined function (UDF)-

• Finally, insert the following formula in Cell C11 using the function-

• Press the Enter button to complete.
